Or if not a leak per se, an overwrite in a section of memory reserved for something else.<br /><br />Both of those can be hard as hell to track down, because you have to hit that section of the code often enough to find it.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-89271003963669809912014-06-13T12:07:10.620+01:002014-06-13T12:07:10.620+01:00They posted an update along with a hotfix today......They posted an update along with a hotfix today... apparently they have to revert the operations group finder to 8-man only, as the new 16-man was bringing the servers to their knees. o_O Major coding fail?Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-56276567712522349292014-06-12T14:44:40.235+01:002014-06-12T14:44:40.235+01:00I haven&#39;t been on in the past few days since I...I haven&#39;t been on in the past few days since I figured there would be issues --patches have that rep among MMOs-- but this is worse than normal.<br /><br />No matter what else, they need to communicate.<br /><br />Lately, Blizz has been having the same issue. About two weeks ago --during the first day of IoC weekend, no less-- lag spiked on a lot of servers upwards of 1-2 <i>seconds</i>. This happened during evening raiding/BGs on a Friday, and I kept being kicked out entirely or not being able to comment in Gen Chat. Doing an instance or BG was completely out of the question.<br /><br />Rumors ran rife about whether Blizz was experiencing a DDoS attack or not, but Blizz never bothered to put a &quot;Hey we&#39;re experiencing problems&quot; header during login. Hell, the only thing that they mentioned in the forums was in response to a rising chorus of complaints, and it was a &quot;we&#39;re working on it&quot; or &quot;we think we might have it, just wait&quot;.<br /><br />Lack of communication kills people&#39;s respect.<br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.com
